ITs open source in the same way OSX and iOS are open source (although more open, i will admit) the core is open, but a very large proportion of the key services are closed and difficult to replace.

> ITs open source in the same way OSX and iOS are open source

I can give you a link to the AOSP repository.

If iOS and OS X are open source in the same way than Android, then you can give us a link to the repositories, isn't?

Can I fork OS X and make another operating system based on it?

Yes, you can get the XNU kernel and many of the frameworks (including the Objective-C 2.0 runtime) from http://opensource.apple.com. Feel free to fork it and let us know how you get on.

So no,it is not the same, you don't have the source code for OS X, you have source for SOME parts
